Disease Prediction from Symptoms

This project explores the use of machine learning algorithms to predict diseases from symptoms.

Algorithms Explored

The following algorithms have been explored in code:

1. Naive Bayes
2. Decision Tree
3. Random Forest
4. Gradient Boosting

Dataset

Source

The dataset for this problem used with the Jupyter notebook is downloaded from here:

https://impact.dbmi.columbia.edu/~friedma/Projects/DiseaseSymptomKB/index.html

This dataset has 3 columns:

Disease  | Count of Disease Occurrence | Symptom

You can either copy paste the whole table from here to an excel sheet or scrape it out using Beautifulsoup.

Usage

Please make sure to install all dependencies before running the demo, using the following:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Interactive Demo

For running an interactive demo or sharing it with others, please run demo.py using Jupyter Notebook or Jupyter Lab.

jupyter notebook demo.ipynb

Standalone Demo

For running the inference on test set or on custom inputs, you can also use the infr.py file as follows:

python infer.py
